SiteLock provides comprehensive website security. It performs website daily scans to identify vulnerabilities or malware. When vulnerabilities or malware are found, you will be alerted immediately. Based on your SiteLock scanner, it will automatically remove any malware on your website. For content management system (CMS) websites, SiteLock can automatically patch found vulnerabilities.

A website vulnerability is a weakness or misconfiguration in a website or web application code that allows an attacker to gain some level of control of the site, and possibly the hosting server. Most vulnerabilities are exploited through automated means, such as vulnerability scanners and botnets.

Malware, short for malicious software, is used to gather sensitive data, gain unauthorized access to websites and even hijack computers.

No. During a website scan, SiteLock downloads the relevant files to a secure server and performs scans there. There is no impact to the website content, code, bandwidth or server resources on the website.

The SiteLock Trust Seal is a widely-recognized security badge you can display on your website. It is a clear indication that your website is secure and malware-free. To add the seal to your website, simply include the code snippet that SiteLock provides in the footer area of your website.
